Energy Efficiency And Saving In The Cement Industry

An econometric analysis reveals that technical progress in Indias cement sector has been biased towards the use of energy and capital while it has been material and labor saving The increase in productivity was mainly driven by a period of progress between 1983 and 1991 following partial decontrol of the cement sector in 1982
